The event raised more than $200,000 in support of the organization’s programs. Special guest Nina Simons spoke about her personal journey with Bioneers, a nonprofit organization that highlights breakthrough solutions for restoring people and the planet, her leadership work with women, and the intersectionality of domestic violence and other issues including colonialism, environmentalism, racism and patriarchy.
